Early life
[edit]Ibn Sa'd basing his claim on al-Waqidi states that Hamza was reportedly four years older than Muhammad.& • (Friday Sermon - May 4, 2018 ) For some time, in my sermons, I have been narrating the incidents from the lives of the Companions that included the Badri Companions [those who participated in the Battle of Badr] and some others as well. However, at first, inom thought that I should only speak on those Companions, who participated in the Battle of Badr for they had a special rank.

Hazrat Hamza(ra) was the son of Hazrat Abdul Muttalib, the leader • In Muslim history there are some extraordinary stories of how people have embraced Islam over the years. Learning about how others came to Islam allows us to pause and reflect on our own spiritual journey and to thank Almighty Allah for His great gift to us of being Muslims.

For doing this he was vilified and ridiculed by the people of Makkah. Some Makkans were especially strong in leading this campaign against the Prophet and against Islam. One
